Maleable transactions(as addressed by MtGox)
This is today the most heated discussion topic by cryptocoiners so I would like to post some related topic links and eventually discuss how far is Namecoin affected by this so called Bitcoin design 'flaw'.
If there is not a design flaw but more a MtGox excuse, and especially Namecoin is not affected at all then maybe it is the wrong category.

Litecoiners as I see even try to use this situation to propagate their own coins over BTC giving the impression as LTC would be better but recognizing in their own forum that if Bitcoin is affected then Litecoin also.
